SolarSpaces are built off site, adopting new industry standards of Modern Methods of Construction. They cost no more to build than a traditional classroom, gym, office or any other space - but they deliver a whole lot more, including:
Integrated Solar PV – solar architecture, utilising roof and integrated wall panels, means our buildings generate more energy than the space needs.
Battery Storage – we need to store the excess solar power in order to ensure it’s available to draw upon when the building (or Electric Vehicle!) needs it.
Electric Vehicle Charging - it makes sense to charge your car from your own renewable power generation, as delivered by the integrated solar panels. This facility is supercharged with the addition of our SolarCatcher car charging canopies over adjacent car parks.
Smart Technology – in-built sensors allow you to control the security, lighting, heat and power; remotely, using your smartphone, or voice activated.
Airtight and Thermally Insulated – heat escapes easily from buildings that are not airtight and passes easily through walls (and roofs) that are poorly insulated.
Heat Pumps – air source pumps are a super-efficient heat source for well insulated buildings.
Fresh Air – mechanical ventilation with heat recover keeps the air fresh, and as warm as required.
Rainwater Harvesting – automatically re-cycles water within the building, using software that works with our integrated ‘smart’ sensors.
Heating, cooling and powering buildings accounts for nearly half of the CO2 released into the atmosphere – global warming. If all buildings could generate their own energy from sources that don’t require fuel, the threat from climate change would literally be halved.
Deals with climate change.
Costs nothing to heat and light.
Charges vehicles in the carpark.
Just like your petrol fuelled car which will be obsolete in 20 years, it seems pretty clear that the built environment will also follow the same path to electrification. How much will traditionally built properties be worth if you still have to pay their (ever increasing) utility bills? SolarSpace buildings eradicate this cost.
Lifestyle Fitness currently run programmes in conjunction with many schools.
